So I had my first fry story tonight (glofish zebra danios) . I noticed a small creature moving in the tank and tried to get it out when one of my glofish ate it before I could get to it. Later on I realized there were fry coming up from the rocks.
All I had was this one tank but I quickly siphoned some tank water into a bucket and scooped up my glofish and put em in the bucket. I didn't know what to do because it was 11:30 pm so I had to go to walmart and I bought the 10 gal starter kit. I did not want to do this because of starting a new cycle but I want to succeed in keeping these fry alive.
I got the tank and some gravel and set it all up. I used prime and I put one of the two filter media pads from the fluval view tank and put it in the filter for the 10 gallon. Hopefully that will help. I matched the temperatures and pH as close as possible then put my adult fish in the tank. I've counted 14 fry swimming around so far and there are still some stuck in the rocks and I still see a couple eggs. I will post some picks.
My worry is that some are getting stuck in this crack where the white back piece meets the clear part of the tank. Also I am worried they will not get out the rocks. Should I keep lights on a lot or not a lot? I'm now worried about my adult fish in a new tank and the baby's in the old one. It's a mess. And imma only get 2 1/2 hours of sleep. Here's the pics. Any tips or advice on what I should do now just let me know please.
